 Globalization and Maritime Power
The multimission capability of amphibious warfare forces causes these forces—and particularly the MAGTF—to be the expeditionary warfare forces used most frequently in response to a wide spectrum of crises, especially in the last decade of the last century.
Thus in crises across the broad spectrum of conflict, it is amphibious warfare forces delivering the capabilities of a MAGTF that are called upon most frequently to deal with events ranging from humanitarian assistance, to peacemaking, to noncombatant evacuation, to peacekeeping, to a wide range of other missions.
Ultimately, the ability of amphibious warfare forces to deal with a dramatically changing security paradigm wrought by globalization will be dependent on the men and women of the force, the platforms that they serve on, and the sensors and weapons that they bring to the fight.

Essential though they were, these advances in mine and amphibious warfare and in logistic support of overseas operations were overshadowed by developments in the striking forces.
